Good info thanks. I was looking for a technical answer but seem to be getting a few political polarized responses instead. I’d no idea.
Anyway, I’ll have to look up what a “map-reduce query” is. :)
Do you think there’s potential for a large, popular, and fast relay to become a sort of gatekeeper, with big centralized dominance? Like if Meta setup thousands of fast relays everywhere and started injecting advertisement attachments to user messages? Or collect info on each key so they can eventually ID and track you? Even if the user message are E2E encrypted, a relay could probably still attach an advertisement payload into the message somehow, no?
I really don’t know what I’m talking about. Just chatting really.
